Laurel Bank (archaic Manx: Cronk-y-Killey - ‘Killey’s Hill’)[1] is situated between the 10th Milestone and 11th Milestone road-side markers on the primary A3 Castletown to Ramsey Road between Ballacraine and Glen Helen in the parish of Kirk German in the Isle of Man.[2]
The area of Laurel Bank is located in a former ‘Treen’ Old Norse: eyrisland (a sixteenth century legal, land or fiscal district for the payment of tax) of Balydoyne consisting of the Quarterlands of Cronk-y-Killey and Ballakilley-ny-Howin.[3]
The area is located in the northern section of Glen Mooar valley in the parish of German including Laurel Bank farm and house (built c. 1848) and the Ebenezer Lane.[4] The River Neb runs parallel to the Laurel Bank section of the A3 Castletown to Peel Road from Glen Helen to Ballacraine with the nearby summit of Beary Mountain 1,020 feet (311 m).[5]
